I'd love to see the original manga story animated. There are so many beautiful scenes and plots missing from the movie...

However, it couldn't just be a sequel of the movie, as it diverged from the manga story line near the end.

I often see code relying on the increasing property of primary key (keeping track of processed vs unprocessed by the last processed pk only).

This wrap into negative domain would wreck havoc for sure.

That's the blender API, supported by an embedded python interpreter coming with each Blender install

New comment by zeograd in "Why LLMs still have problems with OCR"

zeograd — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 13:58:54 +0000

I tried https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR for my own use case (scanline images of parcel labels) and it beat Tesseract by an order of magnitude.

(Tesseract managed to get 3 fields out of a damaged label, while PaddleOCR found 35, some of them barely readable even for a human taking time to decypher them)

Great, thanks!

I was probably not stable enough showing it to the webcam and had more luck with the sudoku lying on the table and moving the webcam.

The lightning was also quite important in getting the grid recognized.

Nice job :)

I love the idea but couldn't get it to work.

When I click the snapshot button from the /viewer URI, I end up on /image and can only download the photo I took or go back.

What is the intended workflow?

Discoverability is indeed lacking in Peertube, as for global search, what looks the most like it is https://sepiasearch.org/

In the spirit of FOSS, he also publishes his video on peertube: https://peertube.touhoppai.moe/a/shichimi/video-channels

Disclaimer: I manage this Peertube instance and used to mirror, with his agreement, those channels as mirrors, and he's now managing them directly.

New comment by zeograd in "Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an open-source traditional roguelike dungeon crawler"

zeograd — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 07:30:35 +0000

It's an awesome game, I'm playing it non-stop since last summer and embarked my 9-years old daughter along. We're sharing games and exchanging bits of information (yes, she's thinking out of the box, and it sometimes works :) )

The author, Evan, is maintaining a fediverse community for all mods of the original Pixel Dungeon, accessible via https://photon.lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon for instance, after the Reddit troubles from last year.

It is not an application, it's a model.

It claims to be llama-compatible, so you can reuse the same ecosystem, like ollama for inference.

It will not run random code on your behalf and call OpenAI API like you fear.

Reaper is praised by a lot, that's true.

But I wouldn't call it a killer app when linux has great native DAW like ardour (libre), LMMS (libre), Non (libre), Renoise (proprietary) or Bitwig (proprietary) and probably others.

zeograd — Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:05:57 +0000

Regarding Nuke alternative, if we're talking about the same software (VFX domain), you have http://natron.fr/

It's still quite young imho, but it's very promising.

Incidentally, it also integrates with GMIC

New comment by zeograd in "Bup – An efficient backup system based on the git packfile format"

zeograd — Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:08:10 +0000

When I had to pick a backup system, I considered Bup until I saw that there were no way to prune old backup ( https://github.com/bup/bup/blob/master/README.md#things-that... ).

This is really a stopblocker for me.

Obnam ( http://obnam.org ) is a similar tool but support forgetting old generations. However, it still suffers for youth problems and tends to corrupt backup repository when pruning old data on a remote server.

I'm really looking forward for a mature and feature full backup system based on git principes. Bup or obnam might be one of those.

New comment by zeograd in "Extracting the abstract syntax tree from GCC"

zeograd — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 16:08:39 +0000

As much as I love GNU tools "universe", I feel that this ideological position of RMS regarding GCC future is hurting more libre software than it does good.

That's a bit saddening.
